This scientific independent research is provided by Aisle7 and is for informational use only. GNC provides this information as a service but does not endorse it. Likewise, Aisle7 does not recommend or endorse any specific products.

For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.

Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by some in the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.

For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

About This Condition

Prostate cancer is a malignancy of the prostate. It is characterized by unregulated replication of cells creating tumors, with the possibility of some of the cells spreading to other sites (metastasis).

This article includes a discussion of studies that have assessed whether certain vitamins, minerals, herbs, or other dietary ingredients offered in dietary or herbal supplements may be beneficial in connection with the reduction of risk of developing prostate cancer.

This information is provided solely to aid consumers in discussing supplements with their healthcare providers. It is not advised, nor is this information intended to advocate, promote, or encourage self use of these supplements for cancer risk reduction or treatment. Furthermore, none of this information should be misconstrued to suggest that dietary or herbal supplements can or should be used in place of conventional anticancer approaches or treatments.

It should be noted that certain studies referenced, indicating the potential usefulness of a particular dietary ingredient or dietary or herbal supplement in connection with the reduction of risk of prostate cancer, are preliminary evidence only. Some studies suggest an association between high blood or dietary levels of a particular dietary ingredient with a reduced risk of developing prostate cancer. Even if such an association were established, this does not mean that dietary supplements containing large amounts of the dietary ingredient will necessarily have a cancer risk reduction effect.

Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among men in the United States. Although the cause is not known, most researchers believe that alterations in testosterone metabolism and/or bodily responses to testosterone are involved.

Throughout the world, autopsy reports show that evidence of microscopic prostate cancer is extremely common in older men. However, most men who have such microscopic disease are never diagnosed with, nor do they die from, prostate cancer. Unlike this dormant form of the disease, the incidence of potentially life-threatening prostate cancer varies greatly in different parts of the world. Researchers believe that some factors, possibly involving diet or lifestyle issues, determine the risk of having potentially life-threatening prostate cancer.

American men are at high risk of being diagnosed with such prostate cancer, and African-American men are at particularly high risk, for reasons that are not completely clear. A family history of prostate cancer increases the risk to a limited extent. Farmers, mechanics, workers in tire and rubber manufacturing, sheet metal workers, and workers exposed to cadmium have also been reported to be at increased risk.

The information presented in Aisle7 is for informational purposes only. It is based on scientific studies (human, animal, or in vitro), clinical experience, or traditional usage as cited in each article. The results reported may not necessarily occur in all individuals. Self-treatment is not recommended for life-threatening conditions that require medical treatment under a doctor's care. For many of the conditions discussed, treatment with prescription or over the counter medication is also available. Consult your doctor, practitioner, and/or pharmacist for any health problem and before using any supplements or before making any changes in prescribed medications. Information expires June 2016.

You owe it to yourself to try this product! I do not have major prostate problems but taking this product for 30 days has made a difference. I have a history of family prostate problems but no longer get up over night for the bathroom. The large pills can be difficult to swallow so I just take them with my meals with no problem. This product will become part of my daily routine!

I have tried various remedies for my symptoms from BPH. This product works best and within a couple of days. I was using a prescription medication, then quite because of sexual side effects. My symptoms returned and I was looking for something OTC without side effects of medication. Walked into a GNC store and sales clerk recommended this product. This improves my frequent need to urinate. I was getting up two - three times a night, now only once. Not perfect, but just as good as RX meds without the side effect.

I've been taking a common brand in the orange bottle found at all grocery stores. I started out with 1 capsule twice a day a few years ago. Then had to increase the amount to two twice a day, then 3 and wasn't getting any better. Reg check ups with my doc showed no problems. I switch to this product about a week ago. One capsule twice a day. Wow ! I must say. What a difference. I can sleep all night and flow has increased in a big way and my bladder empties. My joke at work was Nobody pees longer then me. That's no longer true. Everybody is different and things don't always work the same for everyone. Try it. You should like it.

I came off a drug trial from a cialis-analogue that worked pretty well for me. They put me on 5mg Cialis afterwords, and the results were expensive and not spectacular. i thought i would give this a shot, based on some comments I'd read.

I was quite pleased to see what i perceived as positive results in only a little over two days. Not up to the level of whatever it was they were testing on me, to be sure, but better. It's my impression that the Saw Palmetto extract component won't really kick in for another 40 days or so, so I'm interested to see if there will be even more improvement, but for now, better flow, less nocturia, and I can live with that.

I take a lot of supplements that fight my cancer. I've read close to 6000 abstracts. I've done a substantial amount of research. It is hard to find a supplement that contains SEVERAL ingredients each of which have been shown in clinical studies to actually have some effect on a specific cancer. THIS has several and it has them without magnesium stearate and stearic acid.
